Pro-source PRO10424 Pleated Air Filter 24x30x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10424 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 8 with 35% particle capture efficiency. It measures 24 x 30 x 1 inches nominal, with actual dimensions of 23-1/2 x 29-1/2 x 3/4 inches. The filter uses a synthetic pleated media supported by a wire backing and enclosed in a paperboard frame. It handles airflow up to 1,500 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM. The maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees F. HVAC technicians and building maintenance personnel install this filter in forced-air systems as part of routine preventive maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications where MERV 8 filtration is specified. It captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it appropriate for standard comfort-cooling and heating systems. The manufacturer rates it for use with any unit, so it fits a wide range of air handlers, furnaces, and fan coil units that accept a 24 x 30 x 1 inch filter. It meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards, which are commonly required in commercial preventive maintenance programs and new construction specifications.
